Muscle Cramps
I also had been prescribed Triamterene for water retention.
In the past, I had leg cramps associated after taking these pills for some time. Come to find out, it was because the medicine was taking potassium out of my body. My doctor increased my dosage of potassium, I am feeling great now. The problem never came back.
Hope this helps!

Clindamycin severe side effects
I took Clindamycin for an oral abcess, I've been off it for 2 weeks but tomorrow I plan to see my doct because I've had severe abdominal cramps and diarreah for 5 days.
Really don't understand why I wasn't warned about this severe side effect on this drug!! This was too strong an antibiotic for an oral abcess!
I think Pseudomembranuos Colitis or Clostridium Difficile is the bacteria it causes. Colitis is managable but not curable.
